Baby Samples

Guest Author - Charisse Van Horn

Attention new parents! Did you know that you can stock up on free baby supplies before the big day? It's true. You can join various programs that will send you free samples, formula, baby products, diapers, and even magazines. You'll soon discover that these samples and freebies come in very handy.

You can even join with company marketing programs such as Pampers, Huggies, and Luvs and have free samples delivered to your home on a regular basis. Huggies makes a kit available and will regularly send you samples of diapers, baby wipes, baby lotion, and more.

If you're planning on breastfeeding, you'll find that free information is a great help. Even many of the leading formula makers recognize that breastfeeding is best for your baby and will provide you with free breastfeeding information. Most formula makers will promote their products as being supplemental to breastfeeding. However, if you must formula feed exclusively, you'll find that the leading formula makers will send you free samples, even full products such as cans and liquid to let your baby try their formula first hand. Like the diaper product samples, you can sign up and receive these formula samples on a regular monthly basis. Some of the leading formula companies that provide freebies include: Enfamil, Carnation, and Similac. A visit to any of the leading companies' website is a great way to find more information regarding their free offers.

New moms should be on the lookout for companies that offer clubs. Whenever you see words such as new mom's club or mom's rewards you can rest assured that if you sign up you will receive free products and samples. Everyone wants to give new mom's free samples and you'll soon realize this fact if you have your baby in a hospital. But don't feel left out if you choose a home birth or a birthing center. You can contact the same companies that provide freebies to hospitals and get your samples too.

Another popular freebie geared towards new moms is parenting magazines. You'll find that everyone from formula makers to parent and child experts publish magazines and the majority of these companies will give away free subscriptions to new and expectant mothers. These aren't just free issues, but full yearly subscriptions. These magazines are a great way to help both new and experienced mothers answer some of the most commonly asked questions during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and baby's first year.

In addition to free food, diapers, baby care products, formula, and magazines you may also find that receiving free cds and dvds is a great way to build up your baby's library as well as find out which music and videos you prefer for your baby. Nearly all of the major music and DVD retailers provide sample discs for moms. You'll typically find these freebies labeled as music samplers or video samplers.
